Why Is Free Republic Allowing Liberal Trolls To Stay?

There are some really annoying liberal trolls on Free Republic who have survived for months and years without being banned. Why is Free Republic allowing them to stay? We have enough liberalism and left wing lunacy on 90% of the media and we do not need this crap on this forum.

It is not difficult to spot these trolls. A quick review of their posting history will prove without any shadow of doubt that they are liberal trolls. Some of them try to mask it but they cannot fool the vast majority of us.

There are plenty of left wing forums which will welcome them that if they are not already registered and active members there.

It is time to get rid of them.

Hit the abuse bottom on them and hit it often.

I was accused of having "French ancestry" because I prefer to drive fuel efficient compact cars as opposed to large gas guzzlers.

Do the French have a death wish?

No one is being dragged to the computer and forced at gun point to debate anything here (though there are rumors some of them are paid to).

True enough, but the point is not whether people get their proper level of enjoyment out of FreeRepublic. I look to FreeRepublic as a possible conservative force in this country, and I think a fair number of Freepers do the same. So, if we allow trolls to go about posting their BS on here, does that not diminish us as a conservative force? And if we do take the time to dispute them, does that not take time away from constructive things Freepers could actually be doing rather than discussing? If all you want this site to be is a chat room, then certainly you can choose to debate or not debate whomever. However, we need to decide if we want this site to be more than that.

"Do you want us to un-ban him and then re-ban him to make you happy?"

It would make an interesting diversion...

I was once called a troll because I said Ann Coulter needed to eat a cheeseburger.

ROFL!

[goat granny]

Don’t abuse the abuse button.

You are the same person who also runs that haughty Moral Absolutes ping list too aren't you?

[samiam1972]

I see you are getting yourself into trouble wagglebee. ;o)

[wagglebee]

You are the same person who also runs that haughty Moral Absolutes ping list too aren't you?

Yes, I am well aware that I am despised by trolls.

Out of curiosity what is it you find "haughty" about morality?

I see you are new here, are you a new troll or a retread?

[HotLead61]

Yep, I remember ASH. I even conversed with him offline on one occasion. I think he was shocked that anyone would do that.

This isn't www.FreeMarjuana.com.

This sites' founder, as stated on the homepage, is in favor of liberty and freedom. Police-state Freepers.... well you guys tend to be like the other buffet types.

I think you have grossly misinterpreted Jim Robinson's statements if you believe that he intends for Free Republic to be a pro-marijuana forum.

[redgolum]

Easy.

On the farm the cats would play with a mouse a long time before killing it.

The Viking Kitties are doing likewise :)

[M Kehoe]

Good afternoon. Long time no talk to. Plus, this thread is for you.

There sure are some people who ‘protest too much’ on this thread...some of the very people who act most troll like...Isn’t that an amazing coincidence?

It’s like you set up a roach motel, and when you flipped on the lights, all the roaches ran out of the motel screaming that they’re waterbugs.

McCarthy would be very useful here.

[WhistlingPastTheGraveyard]

I see you are new here, are you a new troll or a retread?

Both.

And I like your haughty ping list.

[wagglebee]

I’ve been called a lot of names by trolls, but “haughty” is a new one. My favorite was the “Grand Inquisitor of FR”.

[HotLead61]

I liked A+Bert.

I remember when another FReeper used to respond to “Bert” with the question...”Now, Bert, have you forgotten to take your meds?”

However, the mice were at least bright enough to try to escape from the cats. The analogy from two years ago comparing trolls to bugs flying toward the bugzapper is far more appropriate.
